[Avodah] Modim Modim

On Tue, February 6, 2007 7:15 am, R Michael Kopinsky asked about my comment:
:> (Granikim don't say it because the only "Hu" one can give a berakhah to
is
:> "Shemo". Once one distinguishes between the two, "Hu" refers to the Ein
Sof,
:> for Whom the concept of berakhah is meaningless.)

:> What is your mekor for this?

:>RHSchachter's discussion of RYBS's position (it is usually said, except
for
:>hefseiq when trying to be yotzei their berakhah). Perhaps one of the
chevrah
:>who own RHS's sefarim can let us know if it appears in print.

in nefesh harav (page 127) he says that it was the minhag of the gra not to
say it and cites maaseh rav (siman 43 - but I don't have a copy to look it
up). he said that the rav explained (based on nefesh hachaim) that we can
you praise Hashem on his midos but not on "atzmuso" because as it says in
tikunei zohar "d'leis machshava t'fisa bei".
